| Really good home electrical wiring. Sorry for the double post. No Sbearden, I haven't tried the JPS 8 gauge myself, however a friend of mine with a similar system has. He has replaced it with 3 runs of 10 gauge THHN solid for each leg, taped firmly and tied together on the end. This... | |
| Really good home electrical wiring. THHN is available in solid core, and is used in most commercial buildings for 120 VAC in either 10, 12 or 14 gauge, depending on the expected amp draw for the circuit. The solid core does sound better to me than the stranded, and heavier gauge gen... | |

| Cryo your cables? What exactly does the dry ice do? I'm not sceptical, just inquisitive. Does it do something to do with the absolute temperature of the dry ice? And what is the temperature of a cyro treatment. | |
| Cryo your cables? I think that Jim Aud at Purest Audio Deesign has done this for years. Maybe Albert Porter will step in, he'll know. Have you heard the difference between treated and un-treated cables Albert? | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? That's interesting, audiokinesis. I've found that the chocolate actually deadens the vibrations in my stomach, much better than the bags of sand mentioned by Bozo. | |
| Remote power supply connection. FIM (First Impression Music) cables are a joint venture between Winston Ma and Paul Weitzel of Tube Research. As far as dealers go, I only know (by name) Sound by Singer. You may want to contact Winston at wma@fimpression.com or (425) 868-5326 for... | |
| Remote power supply connection. Tube Research Labs have offered upgraded imbelical cords throughout the years. This, and the need for a decent in house power cord, led to the formation of FIM cables. | |
| Best Holiday CDs? Charlie Brown Christmas, Vince Guaraldi on the main system. "White Christmas" Bing Crosby on the 1926 Victor Electrola, the first amplified and motorized Victor phonograph, without radio. | |
| Best Auction Site for Jazz LPs Sad thing is, unless you have the REAL "Heavy Hitters", you may not sell them for what they're really worth, (if you use any of the on-line auction sites). Jazz vinyl prices are WAY down, which may be good for the buyer, but bad for the seller. I ... | |
| Jazz Recommendations It matters what form of jazz moves you the most; Be-Bop, Hard Bop, Cool, Free, etc. Also, what instuments do you like to hear the most? Do you like Trios? Quartets? Sextets? Big Band? We really require more info before we can provide suitable refe... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Many of us aren't satisfied with standard romex in the walls, nor are we with standard or lower grade cabling. Some of you remind me of the fable about the fox and the sour grapes. That said, I agree with avguygeorge wholeheartedly. | |
| Recommend a 20A power cord? FIM. Contact Winston Ma at wma@fimpression.com for a dealer near you. (425) 836 9061 | |
| Favorite Romantic Female Vocal Song(s)? Bette Roche on Bethlehem records 3 record set "Porgy and Bess". She is SOOOO sexy on "Summertime". | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Who knows if they are the same person or not. In a perfect world we could all discuss our opinions without trashing each other. With our hobby, many things are system dependent, such as cables. I believe that it is okay to express our passion, as ... |
